What cookies are
Cookies are small files or browser-based storage tools used to remember information about a session, device, or set of preferences. Similar technologies may perform related functions for security, measurement, or site continuity.
In practice, they often help a website remember that a user has already opened a session, selected a preference, or returned to the same browser later.
Essential and session cookies
These may support page delivery, session continuity, login state where relevant, security checks, or other functions the site relies on to operate correctly.
Without this type of storage, some parts of a site may reload unexpectedly, forget a session, or fail to carry out basic validation steps.
Preference cookies
These may remember settings or display choices so returning visitors do not have to reset the same preferences each time they return to Cricbolo.
Preference storage is usually about convenience rather than necessity, but it can make a repeat visit feel more consistent and easier to use.
Measurement and improvement cookies
These may help Cricbolo understand which pages are being used, where visitors encounter friction, and which parts of the site need performance, layout, or navigation improvement.
Used carefully, this kind of measurement helps the site improve structure and performance rather than relying only on guesswork.
